Thank you all for the answers. It’s very interesting that even English-speaking people (which are mainly Americans, British, Canadians, and residents of other developed Western countries) don’t know about how blind and low-vision people use their modern gadgets. I can use my computer and smartphone withe the programs called «screen-readers». In my case, I use Apple’s VoiceOver on my Mac and iPhone. In Android it calls TalkBack, in Windows - JAWS and NVDA. As I said, I have had my disease since childhood (since one year, to be exact). It was a medical error. Recently gotten glaucoma is a deferred consequence of the general autoimmune disease. Typing on both physical and virtual keyboards is not problem to me, but my typing speed is pretty slow. Well, enough about sad. Let’s talk about ponies. As I have also said, my favorite is Dashie. Maybe because of her coolness, awesomeness, and radicalness. And because she is very cute, loyal, and kind in the same time. Sometimes I dream about meeting a girl like Rainbow. And also I love Twily for things like kindness, diligence, desire to help others, and also I love her because I have a great respect for so smart, science people. And one of my favorite episodes is «Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3». Interacting of two my favorite characters looks very good for me. Also I love CMC and musical episodes. Oh, there are too many «also» words in my text. What synonyms does that word have? I do not know how to use the PM feature on this forum. My screen-reader cannot read that part of the web page, but other parts are red perfectly. Except of post-a-reply field which is quite inconvenient for using with VoiceOver.

Hello. I am sorry in advance for my bad English. I just study this language, so I can’t speak it pretty well. My name is Danil, I’m 19 years old. I live in Russia, in the city of Dolgoprudnyj (this is an adjective, it’s translating as «long-pond»). I’m a disabled since the childhood because of arthritis. My joints are twisted, so the limbs are very weak. I can walk across my flat independently but very slowly (from my living room to the kitchen, toilet, or bathroom, for example), but in the outsides I’m moved around in a wheelchair by the members of my family. I was getting my school education at home. The quality of this education is very mediocre. In fact, I can write this post only because of self-studying, a couple years ago my skill of English had been enough only for short primitive messages. But this is not the main thing. The main thing is that I had not communicated with my peers at all. Obviously, I haven’t had any friends or a second half. Not because of I’m too shy or, conversely, evil. Just because of I didn’t have possibility to communicate. And that’s very sadly to me. I do not need pity. I just want to meet people with similar interests. And, perhaps, make friends. I started watching MLP in June of 2014. I momently fell in love with these cute ponies, especially with Twily and Dashie. Despite to the fact that I’ve always had many interests (you can read about them in my profile page), the Brony fandom has become my very first fandom. I met with some Russian bronies in a popular MLP forum, but I haven’t made any friends there. I hope I will get a luck here. But I’ve not done yet. Among other things, I have been visual impaired already for one and a half year. Glaucoma. I can’t see the things around me. Blue sky, green grass, sweet woman’s smile, cute pony face - all of these things are not available to me anymore. But I still watch MLP even without knowledge of the appearance of the new characters. Maybe, this series is really magically.
